On the time change:
"That time change screwed up my Sunday. I got up and I was getting all ready for my Sunday football...I had my football breakfast ready to go, I was checking the stats online for my fantasy leagues, and then I saw the clock. It was 7:00 in the morning. I don't exist at 7:00 on a Sunday morning. I IMMEDIATELY got sleepy and went back to bed."

Co-worker 1: When I see a beautiful woman at a bar, of course I want to buy her a drink. But that's not how it really should work. So I tell her, "I want to want to buy you a drink, but I should actually be buying your mother a drink. And your daddy. Because they're the ones who made you so fine."

Co-worker 2 (might have been me): When you've used this approach, co-worker, and you've said, in essence, "Hey shorty, you're attractive, but imma disregard all that because I want to buy your mama and daddy a drank, despite their not being present at this time while you stand before me being beautiful," how well does it turn out for you?

The kids all sat at the concepts chart and the teacher pointed to each colored square and asked the kids what color each one was. When she got to teal she asked, "What's this color?" My daughter shouted "Cell Phone". Yup, my cell phone is green.

standing watch in the Navy, most of us were smokers in the room, and were discussing how we'd started smoking. The consensus in the room was either in the Navy, or in college. The watch officer 'Princess Fiona', idly stated:

Female person in cube next to me, while talking on the phone. (a looonggg conversation)

"What kind of person keeps pictures for three years with the idea of blackmailing their sister? What, did she just decide 'Oh, I'll keep these just in case I want to blackmail my sister one day?'"

"you know the pictures, remember it was you and me and (4 other girl's names). It was you and me kissing, and you and xx, and xx and yy, and you and yy. It's not like we were naked or anything. But I don't want (new husband) to see them. He's just not okay with that sort of thing, you know?"

There is much more of the 30 min conversation that involves fisticuffs with sister over said photos, removing herself and others from the lease, moving, threats of police and how crazy sister is. much too much to try and type.

Four-in-Ten Workers Feel That They Don’t Fit in With Their Colleagues, Finds New CareerBuilder Survey

CHICAGO, January 26, 2010 - Do your co-workers’ crazy antics make you question how you fit in at your current job? According to a new CareerBuilder survey, four-in-ten (39 percent) workers said they feel that they don’t fit in with their colleagues. The survey was conducted between November 5 and November 23, 2009, among more than 4,900 workers.

Comparing genders, more women (42 percent) than men (37 percent) report that they feel they don’t always fit in with their cube mates. When it comes to industries, health care, sales and professional and business services top the fields where workers feel that they don’t fit in with their colleagues, followed by leisure/hospitality and IT.

Workers shared some of the craziest things their co-workers have done on the job:

* Co-worker ate the cheese off the pizza box at a company meeting.

* Co-worker talks openly about flatulence.

* Co-worker in the cubicle next to me wears 3-D glasses with the lenses removed.

* Co-worker repeatedly bangs a mallet on the table for no apparent reason.

* Co-worker whistles 8 hours a day.

* Co-worker chews tobacco and spits it into empty soda bottles.

* Former boss brought a baby sippy cup to a meeting and started drinking out of it.

* Co-worker cleaned fingernails using a counterpart’s business card while sitting in their office.

Hey, CareerBuilder survey respondents:
Sippy cups?
Whistling?
That all you got?
I cordially invite you to spend a day here at the dolphin ranch.
